Portia De Rossi, How awesome does an Ellen Degeneres/Portia De Rossi comedy pilot about dueling sisters sound??

Second off:

You’re right! It sounds awesome! And it just got a pilot ordered by ABC — so chances are, we’ll get to see it!

It’s called The Smart One, and will star Rossi.

Here’s what it’s about:

Arrested Development and Ally McBeal alumna de Rossi plays one of them, a brilliant and successful woman who has to go to work for her less brainy but more popular sister – a former beauty queen, weather girl and now big city Mayor.

That sounds pretty great, and everything Portia’s been in recently has been incredible, including the very underrated Better Off Ted (we wish it was still on!).

Portia De RossiPortia De Rossi, NBC just announced that it has chosen a pilot project for the production company of Ellen DeGeneres who have the wife Ellen, Portia de Rossi.

 De Rossi had been out of television since last year but has had a pretty good record TV shows (Arrested Development is universally regarded, loved Better Off Ted, and while Ally McBeal and Nip / Tuck were not my taste, both were successful), so this is probably a sample to be considered for next fall. The pilot is wearing some heavy fines if not collected by the network, so the odds are pretty good that will do to the air.

In the show, Rossi will be one of a pair of sisters mourning. I will assume that Rossi will play the uptight, elitist, and a little mischievous, as they have done (well) in each function basically has had another TV. The details have not been on the cast so far, but the show is rumored to be written by Samantha Who writer Don Todd.
